The Central Spike Complex of Bacteriophage T4 Contacts PpiD in the Periplasm of Escherichia coli
Infecting bacteriophage T4 uses a contractile tail structure to breach the envelope of the Escherichia coli host cell. During contraction, the tail tube headed with the “central spike complex” is thought to mechanically puncture the outer membrane. We show here that a purified tip fragment of the ce...
